Remember how we gave the airlines massive bailouts and they used it to enrich the top execs? And now they are failing again because of their antiquated systems that "aren't profitable to upgrade" because we set a precedent that taxpayers would bail them out?

If an industry is so vital to our country it needs to be "bailed out" it needs to be nationalized and not run for profit.

A Southwest pilot has some things to say on Reddit:

"Theyโ€™ve known for months that many crews were stretched to the absolute limit. It was only a matter of time before something caused a cascading series of failures that spiraled out of control. The board and CEO knew this, and chose to instead give themselves multi-million dollar bonuses..."

The idea of any form of conservatism, and especially of extremism, is to allow those at the top to hold onto their power no matter the cost...conservatism as abuse is not a singular person beating a child, but rather a communal system by which the denial of the humanity of others is a feature, not a bug, that exists in order to maintain the belief system and structure of a society.

As much as I despise Trump, I have always contended that he is just a crappy byproduct of a system that has only one goal.

That being the "Unchecked" passionate pursuit of pleasure.

Our race, and the system needs an overhaul, or mother nature will do it for us...

I will admit that tRump and the GOP have taught me something.

The price of freedom is not a one-time donation.

I served and fought for our country in the military, but the fight never ends.

Republicans have tainted our freedom and I will stand against them to the bitter end.
